The regulation is what drives the ratio, here, though. Consolidation often brings price increases and worse service for customers, but in a regulated industry, you can push this practice quite a bit further than you might consider doing in any other one.
The undeniable fact is that humans are very electricity hungry. Cheap electricity opens up tons of downstream benefits.

I am envisioning something like an international market for clean electricity. Something like an internet for power. This would enable developing countries to leapfrog dirty methods like coal, similar to how many countries leapfrogged over credit cards and cheques we still have in the US. Of course the UHVDC technology may not be ready for it yet.
To this day I think that nuclear is the best way to produce clean and abundant energy. There only one problem. Only governments build nuclear reactors and if you want to innovate in this space you need to deal with these institutions which adds a lot of complexity.

Solar on the other hand appeals to the public and can be deployed in large scale facilities. Large scale economics apply directly and we can see that by looking at the historic price per kW[1].

Finally, me as a nuclear advocate own 14x550w panels + a 20 kWh battery. I’m off grid > 95% of the year. Solar is unstoppable now.

You can write whatever you want. Nobody is ever looking at that document again. By the time the annual process rolls around the process has already changed so much that it's now insufficient. The mandate from management will be to "do it right for future vendors, but blanket approve the previously signed agreements"

It's the same thing every time because the actual security is in the details, but details are so fucking boring.
> but choose not to act on anything they find on VPNs and other "privacy focused" tech?

Oh, they probably do act on it. For most things, I assume they use the intelligence they gather for parallel construction - if you know a fact about an adversary, it can make it easier to find other, more obvious (to that adversary) ways to "find" that information.

I'd imagine taking direct, obvious action on information gleaned from front and honeypot VPN services is probably only done for extreme cases i.e. an active threat to the country/administration/agency/allies.

IME as a practitioner in my youth, I would say that breaking the mental barrier to throw a good punch is a thing that needs to be broken as part of the martial arts training. Another thing that a good training gives you and not many people understand is the preparation to receive a punch, not cower in fear and still keep a sound mind to try to recover and react.

Yep. Wind turbines are ugly and can't be built in scenic areas... but I spent my childhood in the foothills there canoe camping with my parents looking at clearcuts, cutlines, oil and gas installations everywhere. And "oil wells in a farm field with the mountains in the background" is a cliche photo/painting/emblem of Alberta since forever, because y'know, somehow an oil well installation is "nice" but a wind turbine is not.

Somehow natural gas flares and pulp mills are okay set against a scenic mountain valley, but a wind turbine is a blight.

These people are broken in the head.

I'm in France. ~18 months ago, my entire team was laid off. I have lucked out on some previous jobs, so I have a very good resume. It took me a few months to find a new position, and that's after 100+ interviews and some serious ghosting from interviewers.

In other words, I didn't experience anything as bad as what is described, but still, a far cry from the situation 3, 5 or 10 years ago.

Yes, but after a certain point it becomes a matter of risk tolerance.

The article is about industrial generation, not home solar which is largely a vanity thing still. Go look for mildew on a big solar farm on the other side of the Cascades.

You'll need to dig through all the wind turbines and dams to find them though. The PNW has better choices than solar anyway.
Microsoft is more likely to just create new alternative libraries / classes to the standard library. They drop new things all the time that improve on old approaches. Look at every way you can make a GUI in .NET from Microsoft as an example of this.

I don’t think the FDA is in a position to asses whether those risks versus the benefits of mobility are an appropriate trade off for any individual.

The FDA is deciding that some people should have no mobility so that others have… what, exactly?

The people who bought $65,000 chairs still could — and they’d be equally reliable. But because one person needs to use it in Alaska, all people need to pay a premium… even if they live somewhere that cold rating is completely irrelevant and adding a needless $5000-10000 to the price.

While there’s a reason to regulate for truth in advertising and basic safety, eg, not catching fire on its own, the actual regulations extend far beyond that into adjudicating personal risk management without clear benefit.

I’m not a fan of technocracy — I think people themselves know what’s best for them.

> If they need a new set of 35 AH SLA batteries, they will throw their old chair away and ask for a new chair on insurance.

> One connector broke and was impossible to replace. I would gladly pay $100 for a single connector, but they do not exist. Before someone says to replace both ends of the connector, this is a connector mounted in a custom bracket with almost zero clearance as the chair's seat fits right on top of the bracket, connectors, and wires.

So.. which is more prevalent.. users throw away their chairs because they expect to live high on the hog off insurance, or users throw away their chairs because any form of replacement is often met with these arbitrary and senseless complications?
none of those chairs in that article is realistically a full-time use electric chair; they're more akin to 'adult scooters' than that. The purpose of most of the chairs in the article linked is to make ease of travel easier; that's why they mostly all fold.

Here's an example of a real full-time use electric chair. [0] It's front wheel drive, has standard attachment points for medical devices, a standardized controller interface that can be adapted to just about anyone, false bogey-arm suspension for stability sake, and all the certs.

It starts around 8k-ish out of pocket. I don't use electric chairs myself, so i'm unfamiliar with what insurance/medicare costs would be.

I pay ~2-4k out of pocket for a manual wheelchairs 20% co-pay through medicare, to give an example of the costs of things. Electric full-time use chairs are astronomically more expensive.

When I click on link in an article, almost always it’s because I want to cross reference the information on a different source. If the link takes me to another article on the same site, I usually stop reading altogether.

Hmm, I may have misundertood this, but isnt this just beam search but multiple times(* possibly). Also usually the search is over the discrete token space directly, I am not sure if there are continous surrogates which translate the discrete inference problem(combinatorial) to a continous one, which fit better with your local minima, and perturbation terminology. Although I am uncertain about the utility of beam search run multiple times, I am keen to research literature casting the inference search problem as a continous one.

*This might be just a detail/semantics, but for example, for a 3 word context, your starting points may look like "[some token][empty][empty]". Here your procedure simply reduces to a single run of beam search, not multiple, since beam search optimises locally for every turn, producing n different "perturbations" every turn. Let me know if I misunderstood you on this.

But inference combinatorial optimisation as a continous surrogate(which sounds like what you are conveying, and will naturally result in starting points as sentences and not just incomplete words/sequences) is something I never considered. There must be some literature around on this....lets see.
This is awesome. In past I worked on adding support for meta-data queries to faiss DB, by hooking up faiss db with SQlite, but this approach (Sqlite extension) is much more cleaner and better. Not sure about performance though.
I dislike sudo as it becomes unwieldy for piped CLI commands. Because every 'verb' needs its own 'sudo', or else only some of the commands in the pipe get executed properly.

The classic martial arts trivia (or possibly a teaching) is that serious brain injuries became more common in boxing after padded gloves started being used. Bare knuckle boxing seems more brutal but it's said to have been safer in that regard.

Using padded gloves allows for hitting the opponent much harder without injury to the hand, so they make it possible to hit with a lot more force. Serious brain injury is caused by accelerational forces, and those are only slightly reduced by the padding, but the padding gives significant protection to the thin bones of the hand. Without the protection the bones in the hand could break when struck against the relatively hardy bones of the skull.

Of course if you did happen to nicely hit the jaw, that's one of the common target spots for a knockout. A hit on the jaw causes a rotational force on the head which can more easily lead to a knockout (as well as injury to the brain).
Well, amateur is the word. It's literal meaning is only that you're not a professional, i.e., one whose profession is that:

> A person attached to a particular pursuit, study, science, or art (such as music or painting), especially one who cultivates any study, interest, taste, or attachment without engaging in it professionally.

(Wiktionary.) It just also can be used to derogatorily refer to a "low" skill level (Someone who is unqualified or insufficiently skillful., same), but the non-ad hominem definition doesn't have that connotation.

E.g., in the ballroom dance community, the "amateur" category is filled with people incredibly talented, I'd estimate with like 8-10+ years of experience. They're amazing to watch.

I think this would be awesome as a normal search classifieds kind of thing, not as a Tinder thing.

Tinder's selling point isn't the swiping mechanism itself, but that it's taking something publicly taboo, harem culture, and enabling it by taking it private, with a discrete, subtle, and low-stakes mechanism for participating in that culture.

There's nothing to hide when it comes to finding musicians to jam with, so that's why I think a more traditional search & filter thing would be better suited for this.
To me tabs are like a queue of things I plan to review or consume. Does a link look interesting? Open it in a new tab, then I'll look at after I finish with the current one.
This site has really been fighting things the wrong way. Reading every ToS, installing linux, replacing the firmware on your router, etc won't give you you rights back. It's an impossible battle. The real solution is having the laws updated to enshrine your rights. Years of promoting f-droid and custom android roms did far less for software freedom than the EU telling Apple they need to open up their platform, and telling tech companies to respect user privacy.
I don't think the alternative definitions are any more supportive or contradict what I've said.

This is still a fabricated story.

Israel does not "segregate" inside territories it controls. Israel is taking security measures in territories it has occupied to protect its citizens and military. When the US occupied Afghanistan or Iraq or Germany or Japan did those Afghans, or Irqais, or Germans, or Japanese require a permit to travel to the US or could they travel freely to the US? When Afghanistan and Iraq were under US occupation could Afghans and Irqais travel freely between those countries without permits or Visas?

The west bank was occupied from Jordan in 1967. Gaza was occupied from Egypt. Gazans could not travel freely to the west bank before 1967 and so Israel has no obligation to facilitate such travel without requiring permits.

The different legal system is a consequence of military occupation. e.g. "jurisdiction could pass, for example, to military courts of the occupying power if the local courts are not able to function properly."
- https://www.icrc.org/en/doc/assets/files/other/law9_final.pd...

As far as I know Jordanian and Egyptian courts are not functioning in the west bank or in Gaza respectively.

Anyways, it's not "Apartheid". We may not like it. We may not like the length of time that has elapsed (since 1967). We can challenge the legality of specific actions by the different sides. But Apartheid it is not with all due respect to South Africa's political manoeuvring and other political bodies and story tellers.
This is true, but going away rapidly and being replaced by Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory).

The big difference is that a breach of any single Entra ID connected service doesn’t give attackers widespread access to unrelated systems sharing the same tenant. For comparison, once you’ve got a foothold on an Active Directory domain member, it’s surprisingly easy to move horizontally to the rest of the network.
As a consumer, I’m not sure I understand the disdain for forced arbitration. I understand discord desires it because it helps prevent rulings becoming case law.

But I am going through forced arbitration right now in a personal lawsuit, and part of it is bleeding to a third party that does not arbitrate, which means real court. By all accounts I have been assured by my lawyer we are in a better position pursuing arbitration over litigation. Both seem to be quite expensive options, though fortunately there is a clause for legal fees to the prevailing side (and in my case evidence in my favor is airtight).

Any enlightenment would be wonderful.

The widespread and breathless evangelism is odd to see, the nuclear power industry isn’t even that big.

I believe it. But, we also have no good way to distinguish between "guy who is so burnt out he can't write a for loop" and "guy who couldn't write a for loop under ideal circumstances."

Even if we did, hiring someone that burnt out just doesn't seem like a great idea. You were a fundamentally different candidate after your forced health break. What do you think the odds are that, had you actually been hired while burnt out, that you could have succeeded at the job at Mozilla? Without the time off, I'm guessing those odds are low.

I realize people have to make a living. Believe me, I do. And I don't think people ought to be as heavily penalized for needing to take extended amounts of time off work as they are. But, I also don't see what a company in a capitalist economy can do about it while still remaining competitive.
I agree with your point but as feedback on phrasing saying

I work in the music industry. An important thing said once to my arrogant twenty something self by a product manager: "Our market is amateurs. The pro market is a unsustainably tiny." There's basically no product in the music industry that can be supported by just pros. There just aren't very many of them.

And again, most drummers and bass players don't create complete tracks on their own, and they're the main thing people are looking for. And honestly, a lot of drummers and bass players don't want to come into a band where the guitar player has already decided what the bass and drum parts should be. You can get a lot from listening to sketches / noodling. (By noodling I mean mainly improvising something unaccompanied, not necessarily trying to win the gold medal at guitar gymnastics.)

I'm a bass player. A younger version of myself lived from playing bass for a couple years. I still play quite a few gigs. I very, very rarely produce tracks (one every few years), and there's very little of my bass playing online.
